One of my favorite things to do for those little, last minute gifts at this time of year is package up cards that I've made throughout the year. I do use cards I've made to send through the mail, but unfortunately I don't send out as many cards as I make. Although, I guess the people who receive a set of cards might not think that's so unfortunate! LOL (at least I hope so) A great way for me to use up my "stash" is to package them up as gifts for teachers, friends or even family members that I don't buy for, but want them to know I'm thinking of them.
There are many different ways to package up a card set, but one of my favorites is with a clear acrylic box. When I don't have time to stamp or embellish a cardstock box of some sort, I find that these acrylic boxes are PERFECT! The card on the inside provides the "decorating". Adding a ribbon and tag makes it complete. For this package, I used the Holiday Button Bits set from Papertrey Ink to create my tag and along with the Mat Stack 3 Die. Being able to add buttons really helps to embellish the package even more. Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

I NEEEEED to do this. I have stack and stacks and stacks of cards. This is a brilliant idea!!!
What a nice way to use your cards. I actually made 10 gorgeous cards for my girlfriend this year and in the haste of packing up my stamp room, I accidentally threw them out. Ugh!
